DOROTHY AUEL Obituary
On Tuesday, November 8 the world lost a unique gem as Dorothy G. Auel of Sheraden, born January 12, 1925 passed away. She was the loving wife of the late Conrad G. Auel. She is survived by her daughters Gladys A. McKown and her husband, David, Dorothy E. Miller and her husband, Pastor Gary; and her son Pastor Conrad G., Jr. and his wife, Nancy. She was the beloved grandmother of Amy (Miller) Geissele and her husband, William of Norristown, Andrew C. and Rachel L. Auel both of TN, and great-grandmother of Abraham, Faith, and Joy Geissele. She was preceded by her late brothers, Ken and Harold Gould. Dorothy had a long career at the Joseph Horne Company, later Lazarus and Macy's, and she was a stalwart, long-time member and Vice President of the Knoxville Christian Church. She was a woman of no uncertain opinions who treasured her family and her church, and valued God, country and the Steelers - not necessarily in that order. A faithful, valued, and principled woman has left all who knew and loved her missing her greatly. Friends received Thursday 6-8 p.m. and Friday 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at WM. F. CONROY FUNERAL HOME, 2944 Chartiers Ave., Sheraden. Funeral Service at the Knoxville Christian Church, 72 Knox Ave., Pgh., 15210, Saturday 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the church.

I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy in the OT Dept She was an amazing lady who deeply loved her family . I have to believe that Ken was waiting for her and it was quite a reunion.
My deepest sympathy

I sure did love Mrs. Auel (and Mr. Auel). Her obituary captured her life perfectly. I treasure the moments I had with them. Her love for the Lord shone through in every thing she did. I love that she fully knew the difference between right and wrong and was so good in expressing her feelings on both ends of the right and wrong spectrum. :) It was an honor to call her my friend. It is also wonderful to know that the Auel legacy will live on thanks to the lovely family she and Mr. Auel left behind. They were so proud of all of their kids and grandkids (and great-grandkids). May God find ways to fill the hole left in many hearts with the warm and wonderful memories that will remain with us forever.

Grieving with you all and trusting that eternity is ready for the vibrant life joining the ranks. I loved your Mom and Dad very much. My life would not be the same without camping and Boy Scouts and Moyer Street. Love to all,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dorothy's passing. I got to know Connie and Dorothy when I served as a student minister at Knoxville Crhistian Church in the late 90's. They taught me how to pastor, how to preach, how to enjoy the Lord's Supper every Sunday and perhaps of great impact...how to give a proper benediction. "Clint, is there something wrong with your arms? You had them so low I could barely see them! Lift them up", I can still here Dorothy say...and I think of her EVERY week!
Perhaps it is fitting that this past week we celebrated All Saints Day for on November 8, heaven gained one more saint. "We feebly struggle, they in glory shine!" Thank you Dorothy, you were a wonderful gem indeed!
